About the Book: The book is called Beyond Mere Christianity for two reasons. First, in response to C.S. Lewis’ influential 1952 work, Mere Christianity, which stands as a masterpiece of Christian apologetics. The second reason, perhaps less obvious, is that a case can be made, based on current, responsible Gospel scholarship, that Jesus was calling his people to the Salvation that lies beyond the worship of the merely created, the Salvation that relies instead on the direct worship of the Creator. I believe emphatically that the authentic words of Jesus invite us to move beyond what is conventionally understood as Christianity for this Salvation.
Ammar Awais –
The book, written by a Christian convert to Islam, investigates the real teachings of Jesus Christ (PBUH) as recounted in the earliest preserved verses of the Bible. On the basis of these verses, the writer proves how Jesus preached the worship of one God alone, and using one’s free will to chose the straight path – which is exactly what the Quran proclaims. The writer shows how various Christian concepts, such as Trinity and Atonement, were alien to the teachings of Jesus, and were invented later, thus corrupting the message of true monotheism he brought. At the beginning of each chapter, the writer presents snippets from his own life, thus briefly recounting his own journey to Islam from being a passionate Christian. Based on reason and logic, the book is an interesting and appealing read, and is particularly useful for giving dawah to Christians.
